ONE of the strangest things TO Demo-
Gratis in this section is the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Daniel B. Lucas. Mr.. Luz
cas- is a gentleman who has sought, OBJ
tanned and accepted many favors at the
hands of his party. Last winter he
abused the usages Of the party that
elected him by refusing to go into eau
Gus and abide by the decision Of the par
ty. Now he is in Washington playing
the same game in an enlarged way. A
Democratic caucus Of all the Senators
in the city, believing that he had no
claims to the seat, passed a resolution
requesting him to withdraw his preten-
sions rs Senator, but with singular OBJ
stinacy he arrays himself against his
own party and refuses, TO yield peg in
his selfish, hopeless fight. In the face
Of all the rebuffs and discouragemehts of
the leading Democrats of the country,
on Monday he entered protest against
the admission of the Senator chosen by
the people Of the State, and succeeded
in temporarily depriving his former par
" Of a much needed vote In the Senate
of the United States. This dog-in-the
manger performance is not much to the
credit Of Mr.. Lucas.

The Presidents message, which was
sen. TO Congress on Tuesday, is an orig
inal, impressive and courageous docu-
understandable also, in that il treats
of but one subject, the public finances.
The President speaks OF the dangers
that confront the business interests of
the country on account of the accumula-
ton of an immense surplus of money in
the Treasury; Of the tremendous and
oppressive taxation that is the means Of
gathering so much more than can be
scattered judiciously; and he suggests
the several evil consequences of the
state of affairs that now prevails. But
while he realizes these unpleasant facts,
he also suggests the remedy unhesitat-
ingly. He plainly sscribes it to the
absurd and unjust tariff laws. He is
decidedly Of the opinion that the tariff
should be largely reduced, but at the
same time thinks that American labor
should be carefully protected as far as
consistent with fairness. He favOrs the
reduction OF tariff on the necessities, but
thinks it should be kept on the luxurles,
and especially the hurtful Injuries. The
message will probably not be very pleas
mt reading to the manufacturers who
have grown rich at the expense of the
consumers, but 1t will be encouraging
to the great mass of American citizens.
1t shows that Grover Cleveland is a man
of rare courage, ability and honesty.

The Senatorial situation, as interest
ing TO West Virginians, seems to be this {:
On Monday Mr.. Faulkner would have
been sworE in without objection from
any source, had not Mr.. Lucas entered
q protest and made claim for the seat.
According to precedent, the Republican
former and future chairman of the Com
mlttee on Elections suggested that the
matter be referred to the proper commit
tee. To this the Democratic Senators
agreed. The Republicans have pledged
themselves TO settle the matter as soon
rs possible. probably within week.
Mr.. Faulkner's friends say that it is
understood perfectly that lie is TO be
sworn in at the proper time, and he will
very likely receive unanimous vote.
Mr.. Faulkner himself feels assured that
he will be given his seat. In the mean
time he has been granted the privileges
of the Senate, has had his me-plaie
placed upon a desk in the Senate cham
Der, and daily occupies his seat, being
busily engaged in the work that pertains
to the position of Senator.

The coal bosses of Pennsylvania.-that
Is, the owners and operators of mines
recently advance the price of coal from
sl.OO TO 1925 ton beyond the usual
price They said to the public, "Pay
our prices or freeze" The poor miners
asked an advance of 3la cents "A ton for
digging rhe coal. The bosses at once re-
fused il, and said, Accept the wages
we offer or starve." The miners there
upon went on strike. Now. it is re-
ported that the bosses are importing
5000 Belgian miners to take the place of
the miners. The high tariff on coal en-
ables them To do this infamous work.
Who is protected here, the rich man or
the poor man? Who always gets the
benefit of high tariff? 1t is designed
for the protection OF the wealthy manu-
facturers, and the poor consumer is in
variably the sufferer.
